Tough day at the home office for Timbers May 10 2021
In front of 6,000 fans, Timbers see signs of normalcy in home loss to the Sounders
Is this the new normal?
Local rules allowed for 25% capacity at Providence Park on Sunday, May 9 for the Timbers home game against the Seattle Sounders. That s about 6,000 fans.
Perhaps a few hundred of them were supporting Seattle, presumably having bought tickets on the secondary market. Tickets are offered first to home season ticket holders in a mad 10 a.m. scramble online.
Timbers fans Haz Jafari and Annie Borton are regulars in the North End at Providence Park. On Sunday they were sitting on the west stand. Just as the players came out for the noon kick off, they noticed how quiet it felt.
